Scaramucci Sets Record for Shortest Term as Communications Director

Anthony Scaramucci became the shortest-serving communications director in White House history after his resignation was announced Monday, as well as the latest Trump administration official to go in a series of high-profile staff shakeups.

Though President Donald Trump appointed Scaramucci to the role 10 days ago, he only held the position for six days thanks to an official start date of July 25.

Prior to Scaramucci, Jack Koehler's term was the shortest. He served for just 11 days under the Reagan administration before news broke that he had belonged to a Nazi youth group as a child, forcing him to step down.
